Take the radius of the Earth 6 370 km.Then:
The semimajor axis:a = 6 370 + 360 = 6 730 km
Semiminor axis:b = 6 370 + 180 = 6 550 km
Eccentricity:ε = √ (a2+b2) / a = √ (6 7302+65502) / 6 730 ≈ 1.4

A 2.0-Coulomb bead is given 20 Joules of electric potential energy by lifting it from the "ground" to point A. If a second bead
Katen [24]

Answer:

40 J

Explanation:

c_1 = 4 C

c_2 = 2 C

U_1 = 20 J

The potential energy is directly proportional to the charge of the particle

U\propto c

\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\dfrac{c_2}{c_1}\\\Rightarrow U_2=\dfrac{U_1c_2}{c_1}\\\Rightarrow U_2=\dfrac{20\times 4}{2}\\\Rightarrow U_2=40\ J

The potential energy expected is 40 J

A scuba diver measures an increase in pressure of around 10^5 Pa upon descending by 10 m, what is the change in force per square
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Pressure around scuba is

P = 10^5 Pa

1 Pa = 1 N/m²

Then

P = 10^5 N/m²

Descending height

h = 10m

Change in force per unit square centimetre

We know that,

Pressure = Force / Area

Then,

Force / Area is the required question we are finding

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N / m²

So, let convert the m² to cm²

100cm = 1m

(100cm)² = (1m)²

10⁴cm² = 1m²

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N/m² × 1m² / 10⁴cm²

Force / Area = 10 N/cm²

So, the force per unit square centimeters is 10.
